Tropical plant appreciated for its fragrant flowers and decorative qualities.
Small trees or large shrubs that can grow up to 20 ft tall and wide. They have a rounded or spreading growth pattern, with branches that are widely spaced and have leaves and flowers at the tips.
The plant's flowers, bark, and leaves can be used to make extracts, teas, capsules, and tinctures.

Overwatering as it can lead to root rot, planting in soggy soil, using fertilizers high in nitrogen (which encourages foliage growth over flowers), exposing the plant to freezing temperatures, repotting during the winter dormant period, and excessive pruning which can hinder flowering
